Notes
- There are many varieties of apples—some are best for eating, some for cooking, and others are all-purpose.
- They can be sweet or tart, and come in a variety of colors.
- Apples are low in calories and fat-free. They are a good source of Vitamin C and fiber.
- Apples will stay fresh at room temperature for 2 days. They can remain fresh in the refrigerator for 2 weeks or more. Wash in cold water before eating.
- Most apples discolor quickly after they are cut, so use them quickly or toss them with some lemon juice to stop browning.
- Slice up an apple and add to a salad for a sweet delicious crunch.
- Spread a small amount of peanut butter on apple slices, and enjoy as a healthy snack.
